Cupping

Is an ancient form of alternative medicine that is used in traditional Chinese medicine to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of qi. Qi is the free flow of vital energy that circulates through the body and the big world around us. If the qi is disrupted it can become stagnate and create blockages or imbalances in the body ultimately causing pain in the body.

Cupping invigorates local blood and qi circulation in the area that is being treated. This ancient form of therapy reduces swelling, fullness and stagnation, clears pain and tension which decreases the feeling of tightness, and stiff muscles. Cupping stimulates the tissues by reintroducing proper blood flow back to that area of concern and relaxes the tissues to assist with better cell-to-cell communication.Cupping improves overall health by removing the energy blockages within the body that cause disease.
